<strong>Cover</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Bad</strong> <strong>Debt</strong> <strong>Losses</strong>:<br />

An investment which pays dividends!<br />

All too often, however, neither determined<br />

action to secure payment nor the support of<br />

the courts is successful: many thousands<br />

of companies every year realize too late that<br />

there is nothing to be got out of their<br />

customers. The most frequent reasons <strong>for</strong><br />

incurring such bad debts and their consequences:<br />

The creditor has insufficient in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

about the financial strength of his business<br />

partner.<br />

Retention of title is not enough to protect<br />

from loss.<br />

If a company is undercapitalized, bad debt<br />

losses can be an immediate threat to its<br />

existence.<br />

Major insolvencies lead to knock-on consequences,<br />

e.g. <strong>for</strong> sub-contractors.<br />

When things have reached this point, a<br />

credit insurance policy is generally the only<br />

way out. It will give your company comprehensive<br />

protection against bad debt losses.<br />

On top of that it provides a valuable service<br />

to you by carrying out a specific check in<br />

advance on the customers you do business<br />

with. In this way you gain the knowledge<br />

which enables you to avoid a lot of problems<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e they arise.<br />
